Many firsts took place in soccer this year as Coach Woody Smith led the mighty Eagles to the Co-championship of the NHC. Finishing with a 7-3-2 record C3-l-2 in NIICJ, the Eagles Went to the district playoffs for the first time ever to face Quincy College, a tough team who went on become NAIA National champs. It was the first time any Judson players have made All-District as Mike Glickert made the first team and Gashaw Abebe made the second team. Not only were Glickert and Abebe co-captains, but both re- ceived the co-Most Valuable Player award. Rich Ludwigson became the Most Improved Player, and Glickert was nominated to All-Conference. This year, Abehe also set Judson records for most goals per game 465, most goals per season Q75 and most points per season 1303. Experience helped this year as Heinz, I-Ierington, I-Ioffmire, Kassaye, Maffy, Thompson, and Winans, be- side Glickert and Abebe, were all in their last season. We were all proud of this great team as it was the first time in any sport that the Eagles have won the championship. 28 Soccer . . the Time Is Now Coach Woody Smith made a splendid debut as soccer coach as he took over the team this fall. A 1973 Judson graduate, Woody played soccer for four years at Judson, being All- Conference three times and Most Valuable Player three times. Coach Smith also holds Judson's record for leading scorer with 49 goals and 74 over- all points.
